Welcome to INGO. My 2 cents....explore the different sub forums and learn about stuff you’ve never been exposed to. Different training opportunities, shooting sports, HAM radio topics, gardening, grilling....there’s a little bit of everything here. It’s an amazing little community.
Welcome, I've got a current Mosin project going actually. I wouldn't consider my self a collector, but since I have 2, might as well tinker with the other one.
Sounded to me like he has lots of AR parts he may want to sell.
Anyway, welcome aboard Walt, as others have stated there is a lot of good information to be had here.
Guys, thanks for the warm welcome and good points. I will indeed dig around and see what else there is besides firearms (wood working, fishing tips/spots around Indy, etc). This is my first time on a forum so if you see repeated 'noob' behavior please feel to call me out. That said, I'm actually pleased there's a 50 count rule as I'm hoping it keeps folks more honest with everything in general.
First time on a forum? Welcome to the club 5k+ posts ago. It's an easy place to get along in with lots of good info...just don't let someone drag you down into a mud raslin contest. Those rarely end well; and many are initiated by folks with a lot of posts who like to walk the line and push peoples buttons.
Just take the gamblers advice: know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run. If you find some people you just can't stomach there's this thing called the ignore feature and won't even have to see their posts...helps the blood pressure and keeps you from the ban hammer.
